Squat

The Squat movement pattern is a cornerstone of human motion — bending the knees and hips to lower the body, then driving upward to stand tall. It strengthens the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core while improving joint stability and balance. Squats appear in countless forms: air squats, back squats, front squats, wall balls, and box jumps all share the same foundational pattern. A strong squat enhances performance in nearly every sport and functional task, from running to lifting. Proper squat mechanics reinforce joint health, mobility, and power. Training this pattern across varying loads and tempos develops endurance and resilience—making it a must for RB100 athletes pursuing 100-rep challenges and functional conditioning goals.
